The rising cost of healthcare services has necessitated the exploration of cost-effective strategies that do not compromise patient care, particularly in private healthcare facilities. Nursing, as a critical aspect of patient care, plays a pivotal role in improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. This study examines cost-effective nursing strategies, including workforce optimization, technology integration, preventive care approaches, and resource management. The research highlights the financial landscape of private healthcare, exploring challenges and solutions that enhance patient outcomes while maintaining cost efficiency. Through case studies, policy recommendations, and empirical data, this paper provides actionable insights for healthcare administrators, policymakers, and nursing professionals.
